Stone Molds

[wvspeck]

So how many shots do you get before you need to re-oil the stone molds?   does Pam work?  Is there a permanent treatment?   Thanks for all the help.

I actually tried worm oil on my stone molds & got a lot of flash. I may  have  used to much though, but i honestly don't think so. After this happened i tried it without any oil whatsoever & haven't had a single problem since & i've made a bunch of baits with these molds. I have been meaning to try the pam trick, but haven't yet.

Thanks, I have been using worm oil with good success.  Shot probably 50 plus baits with very little flash.  I have been oiling about every 5 shots or so.  Still want to try Pam.

Never been a fan of Pam and molds.   Always got gummy/tacky.

I had an issue with denting as the baits cooled for a swimbait.  I tried worm oil but they came out tacky.  The smallest bit of Pam worked wonders. Like, Spray it onto a Q-tip and then go over the cavity of the mold with the Q-tip.  Didn't come out tacky and zero dents.

 

I'll say it made me go from hating the stone mold to loving it.
